Frequently Asked Questions
What are Social Impact Tokens (SIT)?
SIT are tokens you earn every time a volunteer redeems their FLT (Firefly Light Token) at your business. You can redeem SIT for enhanced marketplace visibility, featured placements, and promotional opportunities on the Firefly platform.
What's the actual cost?
Partnership tiers start at $250/year, $500/year, or $1,000/year. You set the discount you offer volunteers. Most partners offer 10-20% discounts and see increased traffic that more than offsets the cost.
How do I prevent abuse of discounts?
Volunteers must redeem FLT tokens in-app at your location. You control redemption limits (e.g., once per week). All volunteers are verified through registered nonprofits. You can report suspicious activity anytime.
What type of businesses work best?
Cafés, restaurants, fitness studios, retail shops, entertainment venues, beauty salons, and service businesses all thrive on Firefly. Any business that serves local customers and values community engagement is a great fit.
Can I try it before committing?
Yes! We offer a 30-day trial period where you can test the platform, create offers, and see volunteer engagement firsthand before making a yearly commitment.
How is my business information protected?
All business data is encrypted and stored securely. We never share your customer information. You maintain complete control over your offers, pricing, and business details.
